Yes and thank you! Have you ever met a man who tells offensive or annoying jokes all the time and really isn't that funny and also doesn't think women have senses of humor? This is often also the guy who explains to you why and when things are funny. See, it's not that he's not funny—it's that you don't get it. …

Other commenters have done a great job of pointing out that

YES you are amazing and also I love this.

We bought a sewing machine off of craigslist for $30 and do our alterations at home. Both my husband and I took a crash course on how to use it since it's baffling when you're a newbie. Simple fixes (patching worn inner thighs, taking in baggy/saggy spots, hemming) are a lot easier than you may think. Just putting…

You KILLED it, Anna! Well done! OMG the 50% longer limbs one keeps making me snort.

I haven't logged in here for a while, but I'm in grad school for American history so I HAD to.

If you want to try again and you're into audiobooks, try Elizabeth Klett's reading on Librivox, which is free. She has a magical voice and made me love Jane Eyre (which I read over many hours of hiking).

I am so ashamed of not finishing this one because Jewish Sci Fi, hell YES! That said, I couldn't do it. :(

I hated Hemingway. Hated. Then I had to read it aloud for another student with a disability and suddenly I fell in love with his writing. Some books are better read aloud than on the page.

I want to give this comment one million stars! <3

Oh my god, thank you! I feel so alone sometimes because I couldn't get more than 20 or so pages into Neuromancer before giving up. It just didn't draw me in. I love Pattern Recognition, though, so I'm basically Satan Incarnate as far as geeky people are concern. :/

I seriously want to start a book club where we just read aloud to each other from Ulysses for like a year. That is probably the only way I will ever make it through this book alive.

Next time you go on vacation somewhere boring, bring only this book. I did this by accident and only read a little bit every night and at the end I realized it was an amazing book and I actually loved it.

Same! What is so frustrating is that I know the writing is brilliant because he is I just can't access it. Urgh.

So the way you read these is that you pick your favorite character and then just read all the parts about that person. At least, that is what *I* did.

I actually really really loved Dune, so much that my sixth grade book report presentation involved a painstakingly created Paul Atreides riding the Sandworm. Also I wanted to be Jessica.

Now I feel better for only making it halfway through The Two Towers!

Awww, ok. Well in that case!

Skye/Simmons forever! Fight!

Yay! I'm not alone! Simmons/Skye all the way!
